Top House Democrats on Sunday raised the prospect of impeachment or almost-certain prison time for President Donald Trump if it’s proved that he directed illegal hush-money payments to women, adding to the legal pressure on the president over the Russia investigation and other scandals.
“There’s a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him, that he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, the incoming chairman of the House intelligence committee. “The bigger pardon question may come down the road as the next president has to determine whether to pardon Donald Trump.”
Rep. Jerry Nadler, the incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, described the details in prosecutors’ filings Friday in the case of Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, as evidence that Trump was “at the center of a massive fraud.”
“They would be impeachable offenses,” Nadler said. …

It doesn’t really matter. The GOP’s refusal to back President Trump and his agenda and their support of the mueller coup has effectively nullified Trump’s presidency.
To heck with the country, it’s all about getting the outsider.
They are leading a charge down hill to destruction. Even if they came to their senses and wanted to, they could not stop their crazed followers from trampling THEM if they ever pulled up and stopped.
They will impeach Trump and it will be a huge problem for them when the market goes bust and even the dumbest leftist makes the connection between the attacks on Trump and their new Venezuela type life style.
So there will be a trial in the Senate?
Only if 67-47= 20 republican senators flip and vote to convict.
A bushie on the high court. They couldn’t very well stop everything Trump was doing...People would start to notice /oxy
Mitt Romney will see to it that the Senate will convict/remove Trump.
Mitt Romney will lead the effort to find/lead the “Brave 20” gang of R’s....
Impeachment is an action taken by the House of Representatives and then tried in the US Senate with the Chief Justice (SCOTUS) presiding over the the trial.
The last time this happened was with William Jefferson Xlinton and the Republican controlled Senate decided not to have “real” trial as they didn’t think they could get the votes to convict.
I am not so certain this Republican controlled Senate would make the same decision. In other words my bet is they would allow the trial to happen and a number of them would vote to convict along with the lock step Democrats.
The GOP’s plan is to go along with the impeachment, then try to get Trump to resign to cover their a$$es. They’ll try to work a deal where he won’t be indicted once he resigns. There’s over 20 republican senators ready and willing to jump on the deal.
To quote (you) “ Enough is enough”
I hope they do try to impeach because it will fail, and they will be left with sh.t all over them.
Yes, and yes.
Well with the amount of fraud that just took place and is continuing to take place, during this last election, this should already be getting organized. They are stealing this country before our eyes and we do nothing.
We want the wall....Ryan and his ilk thumb their noses at us and do nothing.
We want the list of Congress that paid out sexual harassment claims, with taxpayer money, yet we still don’t have it....That, alone, should be enough for a million armed patriots to show up at the Capitol demanding it. The French are protesting over a tax increase on a liter of gas.
Issue is, how many cops will hold the line when they see everyone coming?
Their voters just want handouts and to be in control. Nothing more. The media will spin everything as the Republican’s fault as they have been doing for decades, even though the complete opposite is true. If the President weren’t who he is, Twitter would have shut down his account a long time ago.
Ryan is a world class POS. McCarthy isn’t going to be any better. They had a chance to put Jordan in and they got scared. Still trying to appease their abusive husbands in the media and Democratic Party.
I don’t think it matters to them. They have the upper hand because the media and the tech companies are 100% behind them. They can say what they want and no one questions them.
All of them have said at one time that there’s no evidence of collusion, but they still push collusion. When asked to define collusion, they just say DJT colluded with the Russians to influence the election. When asked how? He colluded. Nothing more.
And not one of them can actually define ‘collusion’, in any way. And if I’m not mistaken, collusion in any form cannot even be applied in this, as nothing they’ve said or made accusations about fall under the definition.
But they don’t care. It riles up their base. Allows them to do what they want, ie Voter Fraud on such a massive scale it should scare the sh*t out of everybody, and if anyone challenges them, it’s one “ism” after another and voter suppression.
Question.....HOW did it influence the election?
Answer..... It did.
Question.....How?
Answer..... It did.
Question.....How?
Answer..... It did. Other all the Deplorables being as stupid and easily led as they are, would have voted for her. So, even though the ads that came out about her were after the election and no one even knows what they are, the did influence the election.
Question.... How?
Answer...... It did.
It seems as if the Democrats entire existence is centered around building themselves up only to be let down. Its a nasty cycle but hilarious to witness.
